Repairing a seam on a Dacron sail can be very hard to stitch. Dacron is both stiff and slippery and a bit hard to stitch. Double stick tape is the best way to keep the Dacron in place so it can be stitched either by hand or with a machine. For areas that need to be reinforced you can double stick tape a patch of Dacron to the area then it can be stitched down. Grommets can easily be put in and if the grommet is going to have a lot of stress on the grommet edges can be stitched to re enforce them.
Doing a small sail fix is not hard. Use a good nylon thread and have a fun.
